What’s worth knowing about waste and energy.
Pyrolysis, storage, power prices and waste rules. Explained plainly and with numbers, without the sales talk.
PyrolysisWhat pyrolysis is and how it differs from incineration and landfillNothing burns in a pyrolysis reactor, yet pyrolysis is often confused with incineration. Here is what happens to waste heated without oxygen, what comes out and where emissions arise.Energy storageBattery storage for business: how it saves and earns moneyA business battery does several jobs, not one. Here is how it saves and earns money, how to size it, and what real configurations at Czech sites look like.RegulationThe Czech landfill ban from 2030: what firms and towns need to knowThe Czech Waste Act raises the fee for landfilling recoverable waste every year and bans it outright from 2030. Here is what the law says, what it costs and why preparation should start now.EconomicsFifteen-minute power prices: what changed and how to benefitSince 1 October 2025, every quarter-hour on the day-ahead market has its own price. The gap between noon and evening is wide enough to use, but not by hand.PyrolysisWhat end-of-life tyres become: oil, carbon black, steel and gasEnd-of-life tyres are one of the best feedstocks for pyrolysis. Here is what they turn into, in what proportions, and who buys the oil, carbon black, steel and gas.Energy storagePeak shaving: how to cut demand peaks and reserved capacityCompanies usually set reserved capacity to cover their highest 15-minute peak, even if it rarely occurs. Here is how storage covers short peaks so you can reserve less.PyrolysisChemical recycling of plastics: where mechanical recycling stopsLess than a third of Europe's plastic waste is recycled. Here is where mechanical recycling reaches its limits and how pyrolysis takes plastics back to monomers and new polymers.Energy storageSolar plus storage: using more of the power you generateMidday solar surplus sells cheaply, yet in the evening you buy electricity at full price. Storage closes that gap, provided it is sized properly.PyrolysisPyrolysis oil: what it is used for and how to sell itOil is the main product of plastics pyrolysis. We look at its properties, where it is used, why it needs REACH registration and how to sell it at a price agreed in advance.EconomicsHow to calculate the payback of a pyrolysis plantThere is no price list for the payback of a pyrolysis plant. Here is what it is made of, what to find out about each item, and how to use pyrolysis with no capex of your own.RegulationWhich permits a pyrolysis plant needs in the Czech RepublicTo Czech authorities, a pyrolysis plant is a waste facility, an air pollution source and a building project at once. Here is what each procedure covers and what to prepare.Energy storageBattery storage safety: risks, safeguards and what to checkA battery packs a lot of energy into a small space. Here is where the risks lie, how cells, cooling, suppression and monitoring deal with them, and what to check with a supplier.
